Unfortunately I never took pics during the install. I used aluminum square stock from work and heavy duty velcro on the HU, risers and amp. In addition I used an HVAC zip tie around the equipment and supports which really is most likely overkill the velcro holds very secure. The risers can be fabricated from any solid material such as wood, thick plastic, etc.

Something like this will work. Just need to be sure to use a decent gauge material. I have a few extras but not sure on tour dimensions if they are tall enough. These are made from stainless. I just mocked some aluminum ones I had to add durability.

I'll have to double check but believe they will bump it up about 3/4" to 1" above radio. These are stainless so not sure maybe $30. Tell me what height you need from center of radio bolts to the bottom of the amp. I also may have a mounting plate if you give me your amp dimensions. Mounting plate another $25 if it fits.

The gap is good. If the fairing goes back on with the amp in that position then all you need is a way to fasten it. How about some angle aluminum sized to sit on top of the bracket and utilize the two what look like bolts on the bracket just about the radio mount. Make it long enough to use the amp mounting holes on the front corners of the amp. I would use Velcro also.

This may help explain what I'm talking about. LOL...

To clear the brackets from center of the radio bolts on the cage I'm at about 1-7/8", 2" to be safe. From the top of the radio to the top of the bracket it's 1".
